Chapter 92: Ambush

In the early morning of the third day, Yiwu City was ten miles away.

Niu Er finished counting the baggage and released six noble children who 'remembered' their surnames again, which was already the third batch.

In exchange, the weight is enough to support 1,500 people for half a month.

As for how the poor children remembered their surnames, Yang Shuang thought that it should be attributed to the horsewhip.

Throwing the note in his hand into the bonfire, he took a deep breath and said to his subordinates: "Regardless of whether the news from Yiwu is true or not, if we want to gain a foothold in the Western Regions in the future, we must first get rid of King Shanshan!" ”

Everyone nodded.

Indeed, as a soldier of the Great Sui, he has won military exploits since he opened up his territory and expanded his territory, and besides, the Western Regions was originally the territory of China.

"It is imperative to rob and kill the reinforcements of Igo this time. If it succeeds, it can be regarded as a great weakening of the power of King Shanshan, and if he is lucky enough to encounter the four protectors, he can also cut off his right-hand man! ”

In the past, there was a shortage of major generals and had no ability to go west, but now that he has obtained so many generals, even if he can't compare to the Loulan ghost envoy alone, it's always okay to fight in groups, right?

"Big brother, what if it's King Igo's trick?"

"Hehe, the guard before only saw five hundred cavalry, who would have thought that we still have a thousand sword and shield soldiers. Even if there are intrigues, what new tricks can a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people play in the face of absolute strength? ”

There was only one sentence in the note from Yiwu: Five days later, the reinforcements of King Shanshan arrived in Yiwu City.

As for who came out of it, it doesn't matter.

It is enough for Yang Shuang to know that there is no harmony within this small court.

"In ancient times, there was a person who broke a country, and today we are not much worse!"

Shi Da put down the whetstone and put the war knife behind him, "Big brother, when are we leaving?" ”

"The night is long and there are many dreams, leave a hundred people to guard the camp, and the rest set off immediately!"

It was only now that Yang Shuang understood the meaning of the formation.

It's not a skill, it's a permanent buff!

When used on a clan, as long as it is not canceled, it will always be increased by 20%.

Although not very rebellious, the cavalry was enough to surpass the Turkic iron cavalry.

And the energy required by the formation comes from the class itself.

That is to say, if you step on the formation every day, the men who originally ate three more corn cakes than normal people will have to add one more to fill their stomachs.

"Sooner or later, I will become a professional pig farmer!" Yang Shuang looked up to the sky and sighed.

In ancient times, Igo was not in the desert, but by the mountains and rivers, located on the edge of an oasis and a savannah.

The mountain is the North Tianshan Mountains, and the water is an oasis that spreads from Loulan.

This oasis is now in danger in the future, and it has a widely known name, Lop Nur.

If Loulan, Yiwu and Dunhuang are connected together, a triangle will be formed, and then it will be connected with Shanshan City, and some will become a diamond shape.

The oasis is not safe, like a horse lost, swamps are dense, fierce beasts are rampant, and the degree of danger is not inferior to the sand sea, which is also the reason why the rule of the Western Regions is quite weak in the past dynasties.

Therefore, the reinforcements of King Shanshan will not take the oasis nine times out of ten, but along the abandoned Silk Road, from the foot of the North Tianshan Mountain.

Yang Shuang, who entered the ambush area in advance, had been waiting for five days.

If it weren't for the sentry horses running back and forth, and all kinds of news coming from time to time, he would have even thought that he was in the wrong place.

In the past few days, Shi Datian has been clamoring to take Yiwu first and then ambush him, but his own forces are not enough to besiege the city.

There are more than 20,000 people in the city, and even if one is missed, it is estimated that the reinforcements of King Shanshan will get the news.

Yang Shuang didn't dare to take this risk.

"Big brother, here!"

"Bed crossbows, trebuchets ready!"

The Northern Tien Shan Mountains are far less barren than they will be in the future, with ice peaks looming in the distance, and pine trees in the near vicinity are verdant and green.

The group did not wait in vain, but cut down trees and built a village, forming a small pass.

Of course, Yang Shuang will not be stupid and ambush at the pass, but ten miles away!

·······

"Speed up, you will be able to reach Yiwu in half a day, and then let those blind horse thieves see who is the leader of the Western Regions!"

"Knock ·····"

Wolverine took several sips of liquor with a water bladder and grinned.

Behind him, 3,000 soldiers lined up in a row of two, stretching for three or four miles.

The battle flag is fluttering, the clothes and armor are bright, and it can be seen from the appearance alone that this is a strong army.

"Dharma protector, it's just a group of thieves, you take two hundred people to whip up quickly, and it only takes two or three days to take it down, why do you bring so many brothers?"

"You don't understand!" Wolverine's eyes flashed with a fierce light.

His goal is not to exterminate the Yiwu horse thief, but the bald head of Yumen Pass!

Thinking of the corpse brought back by the slain monk without leaving the Buddha, Wolverine couldn't help but clench his fists.

What could be more tragic in this world than sending black hair from white?

In the past six months, King Shanshan forbade anyone to go to the east, and even sent him to the north to find the Tianshan Snow Lotus.

And now, here's your chance!

"Didn't you eat? Speed up! ”

"Smack······

Wolverine's leather whip waved, and the black and shiny war horse under his crotch galloped forward.

Later, after rushing for days, the already exhausted foot soldiers gritted their teeth and quickened their pace after hearing the order.

"Report !!"

"Protector of the Dharma, ten miles ahead, find a new pass!"

"What forces? Could it be that Iwu City moved the pass to a hundred miles away? How can it be? Wolverine rolled over and dismounted, ready to jump up the hill to take a look.

"There is a flag in the pass, and the Turkic script is written on it!"

Wolverine froze, muttering to himself with a puzzled face, "Turks? No way! The king has an agreement with Datou that the Western Regions will be ours in the future! ”

"Dharma protector, could it be a horse thief impersonating?" The lieutenant general stepped forward and continued: "Isn't King Qiuzi just deceived by a group of thieves and almost became a joke in the Western Regions. ”

Wolverine's eyes lit up, "Nine times out of ten, it's fake!" But you also have to guard against it, you take a team of five hundred people to investigate, if you can take it, you can take it, if you can't take it, retreat and wait for help! ”

"Yes, Dharma Protector!"

However, not long after the adjutant general left with the soldiers, a whimper suddenly sounded in the air.

"Whoosh ······"

Stripes of black shadows disappeared into the crowd, and the sound of piercing flesh was endless, and spear-like crossbow arrows, a string of two, a string of two, abound.

The most terrifying thing is that countless boulders suddenly rolled down the hillside, accompanied by stone bullets that fell like rain, bringing disaster to the team.

Wolverine's eyes cracked, "Thief, so daring, dare to ambush grandpa's team!" ”

"Haha, Wolverine, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" On the banner under the mountain, the identity of the other party has already been exposed, if Yang Shuang still doesn't know who the enemy is, then he has been fooling around for more than half a year.

Bald man!

Wolverine, who had always wanted to avenge his son, was stunned, and his anger suddenly soared to the sky, and he didn't care about the boulder blocking the road in front of him, so he took out the meteor hammer and ran wildly towards his body.

Yang Shuang was not timid, holding a knife and a shield, slapping three times, his legs curled slightly, and he jumped down suddenly.

"Tyrannical Tiger Feng He !!"

In the distance, the deputy general who originally attacked the pass was shocked by the loud noise behind him, and wanted to turn over to rescue, but found that the back road had been blocked by a boulder, and in front, three strange men appeared.

Bald, skinny and tower!
